Rampage takes full advantage of the Lynx's graphic capabilities and looks almost as good as its arcade big brother. The characters are large, colorful, and well-drawn, and additional touches such as flashing neon pizza signs and terrified citizens running down the city streets are a visual delight! Gameplay is rather limited; however, you just smash through level after level of the same buildings. But, sometimes a mindless, destructive wreckfest is the perfect change of pace from the usual shoot-em-ups and kung fu carts. Rampage is a wreckin' good time!

Rampage for Lynx doesn't solve all of the arcade game's problems. This is still a repetitive game, driven by an escapist fantasy and a dark sense of humor. But in breaking away from a straight conversion, Atari's take manages to hold up better than the others. If you never liked Rampage, the Lynx version won't make you a believer, but if you're looking to relive your old memories with an added layer of depth, this is the way to do it.

Even with the obvious problems, this version is a decent on-the-go way to play. It has a great sense of humor, especially with the pre-stage newspaper clippings. Of course, this is still Rampage, and fans will be happy to have this game with them in portable form. This is the best, and only, way to do that.

Rampage isn't that much cop, though you're likely to find it's alright - but nothing more - for a while. The two-player version is slightly more amusing, but it's not worth £30. Spend your money on Blue Lightning instead.

Up to four ComLynxed players take control of giant mutants in this conversion of the Bally-Midway skyscraper-smashing coin-op. The graphics are spot-on throughout, but there just isn't that much to the gameplay, and anyone but fans of the original will find demolishing building after building a mile tedious.

The game does succeed when you work in the four-player mode. It's only then that the game is worth any play at all. So if you've got some friends to play this with pick it up ... but if you are looking for a classic game with tons of replay for the Lynx, make sure you're first choice is Robotron!
